FLUID COOLERS
INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MOUNTING
The Fluid Cooler units are designed for cooling fluids such as 40%
Ethylene Glycol. These units are for remote use and use direct
drive, permanently lubricated fan motors. Each module is separated by a baffle to prevent air bypass. The basic unit is completely
factory wired to its electrical junction panel. Provisions are provided for terminal block wiring of main power, as well as, optional
accessories. Please read the instructions carefully before starting
the installation.
INSPECTION
Inspect the unit to make sure there is no shipping damage before
beginning the installation. If damages are found it should be
reported to the carrier.
FIGURE 1
H-IM-76
Walls or Obstructions
The unit should be located so that air may circulate
freely and not be recirculated. For proper air flow and
access all sides of the unit should be a minimum of W
away from any wall or obstruction. It is preferred that
this distance be increased whenever possible. Care
should be taken to see that ample room is left for
maintenance work through access doors and panels.
Overhead obstructions are not permitted. When the unit
is in an area where it is enclosed by three walls the unit
must be installed as indicated for units in a pit.
Multiple Units
For units placed side by side, the minimum
distance between units is the width of the largest unit. If
units are placed end to end, the minimum distance
between units is 4 feet.
Units in Pits
The top of the unit should be level with the top of
the pit, and side distance increased to 2W.
If the top of the unit is not level with the top of pit,
discharge cones or stacks must be used to raise
discharge air to the top of the pit. This is a minimum
requirement.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
NOTE: All installation and maintenance are to be
performed only by qualified personnel who are
familiar with local codes and regulations, and
experienced with this type of equipment.
CAUTION: Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a
potential injury hazard. Avoid contact with them.
General
1. Structure supporting unit must be designed to
support both the unit and the fluid. Table 1 provides
weight of fluid per gallon. Table 5 provides unit
weight and volume data. Provide suitable flashing
of the roof, if this is a roof installation. For ground
level mounting, a concrete pad is recommended.
Mounting holes permit the unit to be bolted down to
withstand wind pressures. Provide adequate
clearance for unobstructed air flow to coils. Also
see "Space and Location Requirements".

Piping Installation
The piping system should provide maximum leak
prevention. Weld or sweat joints should be used where
possible or tightly drawn Teflon tape threaded pipe joints
should be made if needed. The fact that glycol solutions
or other heat transfer fluids will leak where water will not,
must be taken into account.

Glycol Charge
The amount of ethylene glycol required depends upon
the following:
a. The holding volume of the system which includes the
holding capacity of the condenser, the holding
capacity of the interconnecting piping and the
holding capacity of the dry cooler.
b. Percentage of glycol required by volume to provide
protection at the design minimum outside
temperature (see Table 4).
START-UP
1. Prestart:
Check for correct dry cooler fan rotation. This can be
done by quickly jogging the fan contactor. Be sure
that the fans run freely. The same check is
recommended for pumps.
4. Instruction Envelope:
Keep wiring diagrams, instructions, list of spare
parts, in an envelope within easy reach of the
installed dry cooler.

* CONTROL CIRCUIT: May be 24 volt, 120 volt, or 230 volt (as specified).
WIRING
All electrical wiring must be done in accordance with National Electrical code and local codes. See unit data plate for FLA and Maximum
Overcurrent Protection Rating. Electrical knockouts are provided for ease of wiring to the main power terminal block of the unit, as well
as, any optional accessories that may be part of your unit. For the wiring of your specific model refer to the wiring diagram located inside
the electrical junction box.
The Fluid Coolers are available with 208/230 volt, single phase or 208/230/460 volt three phase fan motors. Refer to the unit data plate
for the operating voltage of your specific unit.
We reserve the right to make changes in specifications or design, at any time, without
notice and without liability to purchasers or owners of previously sold equipment.
